Week 36: Math Review, American Revolution, and a Field Trip to the Beach

Welcome to week 36! 

Just FYI....We will both be out of the classroom on Wednesday to begin planning for the 2011-2012 school year.  We will be back on Thursday and of course will be joining the class on the trip to the beach this coming Friday.  Speaking of the beach....if your student has not turned in their form they need to do that ASAP.  We will be providing a slice of Costco pizza for each of the students.  We are also asking students to bring an item to share with the class.  If you have something you would like to share, please send it with your student on Friday.  In addition, if you would like to come and hang out with us, please feel free to join us at Richmond Beach Salt Water Park from 10:30-1:30.  

This week in math we are going to do a review of the years curriculum.  The review will include adding and subtracting fractions, decimals, long division, understanding place value, and geometry.  On Thursday we will be taking the Easy CBM Spring Test to see how much progress our students have made.  This is the test which gives us a percentile score for each student.  We are very excited to see the growth that our students have achieved this year.

In reading we will be contiuing our non fiction work with the American Revolution.   We will be focusing on cause and effect.  We will also be continuing our fiction work with "Spy."  With "Spy" we are contuing to work on completeness of answers. 

Social studies is being integrated this week with reading.  Again, working with the American Revolution books. 

Hope you have a good week.  Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
